Music


"Love Theme from Pinocchio is Punching You"
Love Theme from Pinocchio is Punching You Pinocchio is Punching You is a coming-of-age novelette, currently a semifinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award/ABNA. I do have plans for a music video, but no promises unless/until the story finds a publisher.

Read either:




"Untitled Pretention Pontificated by a Passive Voice"
Untitled Pretention Every journey needs a theme song. This is the one for my "Clarion My Wayward Son" podcast, with more than enough literary jokes to get a prospective student through the six week Clarion workshop. Was also included in a 2006 podcast episode of Mur Lafferty's "I Should Be Writing" while I was at Clarion.



Strange Horizons has an even more comprehensive list of tropes writers might avoid.


"Hutt Seeks Slave (Wear My Chain)"
alexwilson_huttseeksslave.mp3 A Star Wars parody-song, exploring the heart and soul (or lack of) of Jabba the Hutt. Slugs have feelings too. Originally a part of the old Star Wars fanboy page "The Emperor's New Clothes." Written and recorded in 1998, when we were wee undergrands, and before the prequels came out, creating continuity-inconsistencies with this song.



"Hey Jane"
heyjane.mp3 A humor song about Tarzan and his jungle love written by Alex Wilson. Performed by Alexander Wilson (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Sean Larson (electric guitar and the crazy drums). Recorded and produced by Sean Larson. Here.


"Crack"
crack.mp3 A humor song written November 1998. Performed by Alex Wilson and Marc Mellion. This song won some cash as the 2nd place performance at the AU Talent Show that year. Download and listen to the song to find out why it didn't win first.



"The Ballad of Old Captain Bob"
balladooldcapnbob.mp3 A skit/song about the most notorious, smelly Outer Banks pirate of all time. Performed by Barry Groman, Alex Wilson, Bart Nawotniak, and Eric Underwood. Recorded and produced by Chris Nahumck. Free MP3 download and CCL here

Nonfiction


"How to Clean Your NES and Games"
How to Clean Your NES and Games One of the ways I made money in college was buying "broken" Nintendo systems, cleaning them up, and selling them at a small profit. here's how I did it, written up somewhere around 1998-99. It doesn't take any knowhow of consumer electronics. It just takes getting rid of all the dust.


"The Journal"
Journal Guess they call it a "blog" now, but that's such a blog-ugly word. It just sticks in your throat like a blog up your blog, you know? But...

I've been doing this thing since November 1998: an online journal, which has evolved over the years from a pseudo-writing-log to essays and reflections on creative life to whatever it is now.

Software


"AWS Guitar Tuner"
AWS Guitar Tuner So I don't really develop software anymore, but people still seem to like ye old guitar tuner: Downloadable version and online version. Offered "as is" with no support, sorry.




"Asteroid Dodgeball"
Asteroid Dodgeball A simple Asteroids clone/learning project done in Macromedia Flash. For online play and Mac/Windows download.
